Moganshan National Scenic Area

Every year around the Qingming Festival, I would go on a road trip with my friends, and we would always choose places with beautiful scenery such as Zhejiang and Anhui that are close to home.

The year before last it was Jinhua Pujiang, last year it was Tonglu, and this year it is Moganshan.

I thought that as long as it was about mountains and rivers, it would not be bad. In addition, Moganshan has a large number of homestays and a very famous tourism brand, so the management would be relatively mature.

However, everything was thought to be too simple.

1. B&Bs with poor management. We booked a B&B a month in advance, but halfway through, they said that there were public security personnel staying in the room, and they insisted that we change B&Bs (I want to ask, Zhejiang public security went to Moganshan on business during the holidays? Is it shameful for the Zhejiang Commission for Discipline Inspection or the public security?) Because there were many friends staying, it was not easy to book another room at the last minute, which might ruin everyone's travel plans. After repeated coordination with the B&B, the boss changed us to another B&B. Since the B&B after the change was not too bad, we didn't want to bother with complaints and compensation. However, the new B&B originally said that we could have barbecues, but halfway through, they asked for a barbecue site fee of 650-1500 yuan. Although it was not charged in the end due to insufficient reasons, the guest experience was really bad.

2. The scenic area is managed in a chaotic manner. Moganshan has become more and more famous in recent years, and there is a constant stream of tourists who come here to visit. From self-driving tourists who go up and down the mountain in groups of three or two to taking a minibus to the unified distribution center, we thought it was an improvement. The entrance fee to Moganshan Scenic Area is 65 yuan, and the minibus is 35 yuan, which we can accept, but the minibus stops halfway up the mountain. If you want to go to the top of a higher mountain, you must pay another 15 yuan to take a minibus. There is no village or shop in front of the station halfway up the mountain, and there are wild tour guides everywhere who come out to solicit customers. A tour guide charges 200 yuan. According to the wild guide, if you want to play by yourself, you can't play anything. We didn't believe it, and we really burst into tears in the end. The mountain roads in Moganshan Scenic Area are full of minibuses that drive back and forth at high speed and don't care about life and death. People and cars are mixed. Several of our children were almost run over by the car, and the driver didn't care about it. There are no clear signs on the road. What attractions and buildings are there? It's your luck to see them. You can play or not. Finally, we brought our family to climb the so-called Jianchi. Apart from a small waterfall and a sculpture of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, it had no special features. Its front was not as good as the Canglong Hundred Waterfalls in Anji, and its back was not as good as the clear stream of Xianhua Mountain in Pujiang.

3. On the second day, we went to Yucun Square. The Republican-style architecture is indeed unique, but also full of artificiality. Of course, the petty bourgeoisie can go there to take photos and experience it. This is the only highlight of this trip. Finally, we ate a 6-yuan pickled mustard greens cake at a roadside stall and returned home unhappy.

This trip was definitely a happy one, but a disappointing one. When Taiwanese introduced the concept of homestay to Moganshan, they did not deeply root the essence of homestay in the hearts of local people.

Tourists who want to go to Moganshan should not have too high expectations, especially for scenic spots. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

I'm not a black fan. Giving it 2 stars is a recognition of the development of homestays in Moganshan in recent years. However, those tourists who praised Moganshan so much can only say that they are more sentimental than me.

Maybe we had paid homage to the founder of Mogan Mountain in Luhua Dang Scenic Area, and he took pity on us for visiting despite the heavy rain. After the visit, the rain stopped, so we didn't need to hold an umbrella, which was much more convenient. We hurried to Jianchi Scenic Area. Along the way, there are Shady Cave, Huating and several villas (the villas have been converted into B&Bs). Following the surging stream and the quiet and winding mountain road, we went downhill to the most famous scenic spot in Mogan Mountain - Jianchi. According to legend, after Moye and Ganjiang successfully forged swords, they dipped the water in the pool here to sharpen the stones, leaving behind a beautiful legend.

If you drive to Mogan Mountain, you need to transfer to the scenic area bus at the tourist center to go up and down the mountain. Scenic area route map

Visitor Center (up the mountain) - 1 Chairman's Residence - 2 Xuguang Terrace - 3 Wuling Village (Chiang Kai-shek's official residence) - 4 Baiyun Mountain Pavilion - 5 Cathedral - 6 Dakeng Scenic Area - 7 Jianchi Scenic Area (go down the mountain to the second floor of the station and take the bus) - Visitor Center

One-way line, 7 stops. If you don't get off the bus, you will be considered to have given up visiting the scenic spot. Stops 1, 3 and 7 are the key points.

This is a pure scam. The scenery is average but the price is very high. 80 yuan for the entrance ticket, 35 yuan for the up and down tickets, and 15 yuan for the minibus at the top of the mountain. Once you get to the top of the mountain, it is too dangerous to walk around without taking the minibus. The road is very narrow and the driver is crazy. The signboards of the scenic spot are not clear, and the driver is indifferent when you ask how to get there. It is really terrible. I advise everyone not to go up the mountain.

Moganshan Scenic Area is suitable for a family weekend vacation or a place for retirement. The beautiful scenery and large bamboo sea are pleasing to the eye. The rustling sound of bamboo leaves at night makes you feel relaxed. I go there to lead a tour group almost every quarter. Although I feel bored after staying there for a long time, it is really relaxing here when I am tired from work.

My favorite is [Qishan Nanyuan], the accommodation is as comfortable as home, and the food cooked by the aunt is also first-class (bamboo shoots and chicken soup, steamed fish are my favorites). The aunt has a KTV room downstairs, singing is very enjoyable. (Contact number: 13819274445)

The room environment is the best in [Wangzhu Building] (the room on the top floor of the 4th floor has a particularly good view), and it has a mahjong table and a desk.

I heard that all the B&Bs in China are modeled after Mogan Mountain, and it is true, with each inn having its own characteristics.

Recommended: [Qishan Nanyuan], [Wangzhulou], [Qixin], [Post-80s], [Mujingxuan]

[Tongling Villa] is a place I recently discovered. It is relatively remote, but the accommodation is super comfortable and the food is very natural. It is next to the Tongling Reservoir. You can pick matsutake, bamboo shoots, bamboo fungus, etc.

The scenic area is very mature, with hotels of various grades and styles. If you want to escape the heat in the summer, it is cool in the morning and evening, but the daytime temperature is about the same as that of a big city.

The best place to escape the summer heat is the B&B. Very unique

The climate is cool, the bamboo forest is quiet, and the villa is a good place to escape the summer heat.

It's a great place to escape the heat in summer, but the attractions are a bit tricky.

It was a rainy day with heavy fog, which was very impressive.

Moganshan Scenic Area is located in Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a remnant of Tianmu Mountain. The main peak, Tashan, is 758 meters above sea level. It is famous for its bamboo, springs, clouds and clear, green, cool and quiet environment. It is known as the "Cool World" and is one of the four major summer resorts in my country, along with Beidaihe, Lushan and Jigong Mountain.

The worst self-driving tour experience. You need to transfer to enter Moganshan Scenic Area. There is only one ticket window at the transfer point, and there is not even anyone to maintain order. The queues are hundreds of meters long on the road. The order is chaotic. The experience is really bad!

Mogan Mountain is one of the four major summer resorts in China, so it is best to visit it in summer.

Go to the visitor center, buy a ticket and take the bus up the mountain. The total cost for two people is 170 yuan. The fare includes the round-trip fare from the visitor center to the scenic area and the ticket to enter the scenic area. We took the bus all the way up the mountain and arrived at the scenic area - Niutougang Ticket Office about 20 minutes later. It should be noted here that if you want to take a sightseeing bus, you need to buy a ticket for 15 yuan per person again. The sightseeing bus will start rolling and pick you up to the corresponding scenic spots. It is best to follow the scenic spot map to play in turn, otherwise the staff will mistakenly think that the ticket has been used and cannot be used again. The last bus will be sent at 17:00. If you don’t buy a ticket, you need to walk all the way to the scenic spot. The scenic area is relatively large, so it is recommended that you buy a ticket for convenience.

The weather was very good that day, with clear skies and green plants covering the hillsides. The outdoor temperature rose to 15 or 16 degrees, so it was OK to take any photos of the mountain scenery.

In short, Mogan Mountain is more suitable for visiting in spring and summer. In winter, it is bare and there is not much to see.

I feel that this review is not worth referring to, because it was too foggy in the off-season and I really didn't see any scenery.

But who says that only well-planned scenic spots are scenic? The fog itself is worth seeing. You can experience the ultimate nothingness and think about life.

A big feature of the farm dishes and homestays in Moganshan is that the names are very grand, such as Villa, Mountain Residence, and Manor, which give the feeling of 19th century British novels.

After dinner, I walked around Moganshan Old Street to help digest the food. Everything was beautiful before the tourists arrived, and I could stroll through every store at my leisure.

At the other end of the street is Moganshan Station, where you can slowly learn about the history of Moganshan.

The name of the town is Deqing.

It is quiet and clean. Not too big, you can walk to the city center; not too small, schools, libraries, shopping malls... everything is there.

And one mountain, Mogan, seems to be always lush and green.

It was a coincidence that I came to Moganshan, where TNF held a cross-country race. My friend introduced it to me, saying that the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful and spiritual, and that enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way is worth the expensive registration fee. Before this, I had never heard of the name of Moganshan, but after this, I realized that it had already been well-known in the world.

In early December, when winter was coming, I jogged through the woods and felt my life and body come alive again. I will come back to Moganshan if I have the chance.

The scenery of Moganshan is still very beautiful, but this place is really only suitable for self-driving or group tours. The scenery is all on the mountain and each scenic spot is relatively far away. The scenic spot itself is not very outstanding. When I went there, I finished visiting in one morning. Although it was a weekend, there were so many cars that it was often difficult to find a parking space. Moreover, because there were too many cars, the mountain was full of gasoline smell. There was nothing else to do except Moganshan.

The entrance is on the crossroad in front of Yeyoushi. Follow the sign and there is only one road. It is said to be a trail... or an international trail... I thought it should be a relatively flat dirt road, the Batu International Trail, which will always have a bit of international temperament.

The result is a dirt road. A fork next to the real beginning of the trail leads to Shanyaoling (if you have the opportunity to come again, consider staying in Shanyaoling).

Later, I was more and more dumbfounded. I couldn't see the end of the mountain at all. In the end, there was no one on the mountain. There were several times when I felt that there was no way out, but fortunately, there were various ribbons. Just follow the ribbons on the bamboo joints. They are the signposts left by the predecessors. If you don't have enough equipment, you can make up with your hands. You must use your hands and feet together! It is basically a natural and undeveloped mountain road, and it is also a trail.

At the end is the Sword Pond. Climb to the Sword Pond and you can enter the scenic area! Yes! That's right! You can save 100 yuan for the ticket. Our journey takes one and a half hours one way.

A summer resort with towering trees and many tourists.

Deqing County is more than 40 kilometers south of Huzhou.

Between Deqing and Anji, there is Mogan Mountain. As the name suggests, it means Moye Ganjiang. It is said that there is a sword pool on the top of the mountain, which corresponds to the allusion of humanities.

Among the famous mountains in China, Mogan Mountain ranks first in terms of greening. The bamboos in Mogan Mountain are not only dense but also very thick, up to 30 to 40 feet high and more than 10 inches in circumference.

Very suitable for a two-day and one-night weekend outing❤️

What impressed me most about Moganshan is the large bamboo forest and the villa complex. The villa complex is very unique. The earliest one is the French Mountain Residence, which is said to be built by a Frenchman. Because of this villa, Moganshan came into being. When you go there, you must first determine the accommodation. You can choose to live on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain. The prices are different and each one is based on your needs.

Along the way, I saw a lot of vegetation that was different from the south. The vegetation and buildings along the way changed a lot, and my mood suddenly became much more open. The straight birch forest in my memory, that kind of pale white with a touch of green, was as clean and pure as it is now.

Go to the entrance of the scenic spot to buy tickets, 80 yuan/person, there is a tour guide there, the price is 150 yuan for half a day, I hired one thinking that I can better understand the culture of Moganshan. She would give us a detailed introduction to each scenic spot. Personally, I think it is necessary to hire a tour guide, at least after the tour you can have a rough understanding of history, so as not to be too superficial.



There are two roads to go up the mountain, one is the provincial road, the other is the Sanmo line. The former is called the front mountain route, and the latter is the back mountain route. The former is 32KM, and the latter is only 9KM. In order to save time, I decided to take the Sanmo line.

There are many old villas on the mountain, including Chiang Ching-kuo's former residence, which is worth a visit.

The scenery is very good. It is suitable for self-driving tours. It is best to hire a tour guide. Mogan Mountain is too big to visit in one day. If you only see it by yourself, you will miss many wonderful historical allusions.

You can drive into the Moganshan Scenic Area. You can buy tickets directly at the Niutougang ticket office or drive in with your ticket. I bought the ticket from a local, which is cheaper than buying it directly at the scenic spot. It only costs 65 yuan per ticket. When you arrive at Niutougang, you need to get off the car and stamp your ticket. After the security check, you can enter the scenic area. There are many scenic areas in Moganshan, and we didn't want to rush, so we only chose the highest Dakeng Scenic Area as our target and drove up the mountain. There is a small parking lot in the Dakeng Scenic Area, but there are not many parking spaces.

In my previous impression, Moganshan had nothing special to represent the beautiful mountains and waters of Jiangnan. But in recent years, with the wanton promotion on the Internet, it has become very popular, especially the mushrooming homestays, which have gradually risen and become popular, making it a holy place for foreigners, literary youths, and travel enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, although the Qingming Festival is a good time, the prices of homestays are ridiculously high due to the short holiday, and there are long queues in the scenic area parking lot. I think if you come here to stay for a few days on ordinary days, I am afraid no one will not fall in love with this place.

Whether it is the numerous homestays with different styles outside the scenic area, or the villas hidden in the flowers at the corner of the scenic area, they are all dazzling and make people happy.

Moganshan Scenic Area is suitable for self-driving. The scenery is green trees, bamboos, and small waterfalls. Moganshan is most famous for its homestays, various boutique hotels, foreign homestays, and farmhouses, each with its own advantages. The mountain scenery is not very special, and is similar to the mountains in Zhejiang, and the mountains are not big. The advantage lies in the cultural background.

I went to Mogan Mountain last summer vacation and stayed in a homestay at the foot of the mountain. The homestays in Mogan Mountain are indeed very unique and the prices are also very unusual. However, it is really nice to stay at the foot of the mountain for 2 days to relax.

Moganshan is also worth visiting in winter. The bamboo forest is green and there are many tourists. The ticket price is still the off-season price. You need to fill up the gas when driving there. The winding mountain road and traffic jams require patience. The air on the mountain is very good and the homestays have various characteristics. Recommended

We came from Moganshan Town. On the first day, we stayed in a homestay in the town. During the National Day holiday, farmhouses were more expensive, but this one was more than 200 yuan cheaper. Although the environment was not good, it was similar to an ordinary hotel. The appearance looked very grand, but it was just average. The food here was mainly not special. Farmhouses served ordinary dishes. A native chicken cost 100 yuan! It's a holiday! Overall, the scenery on the road is better! I'll go to the mountain tomorrow to see

Very beautiful scenic spot, worth recommending, and staying in the B&B is also very comfortable. Xiazhu Lake is worth a visit.

We walked along the edge of the mountain

Avoid the crowds and overdeveloped modernity

One with nature

If you like outdoor activities, 5 points is enough for you. I would give Moganshan 3.5 points.

I went there with my friends in October 2016. There are several cycling routes around Mogan Mountain. But the road to Mogan Mountain is very steep, and the guards at the scenic area will charge all tourists for tickets. The only way is to carry the bike from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is very tiring. The roads on the mountain are full of cars, and transportation is inconvenient. The famous attractions I have visited are Du Yuesheng Mansion (now converted into a B&B) and Jianchi. I can't remember the names of other attractions.

The scenery is beautiful, there are many homestays, many delicious foods, and many special things. It is worth coming

I took my kids there on a weekend. The environment was great and the air was great. It was indeed a natural oxygen bar. There was occasional light rain during the two days we were there, but we were lucky enough to see the beautiful sunset in the evening.

If you drive into Moganshan, you cannot enter the mountain from the front on weekends, you have to go from the back. We left the foot of the mountain at 10 o'clock and arrived at the ticket office at 1 o'clock. We were just resting in the scenic spot, which was quite comfortable. The main thing is that it is very inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, so it is not recommended for everyone to play.

The air is fresh, the bamboo forests are stacked, the showers wash away the hot sun, and the rainbow under the waterfall is even more lovely and charming. The shuttle bus is inconvenient, you can't wave and stop or get on the bus for free, you have to follow the tour guide. It's more convenient to drive by yourself. The mountain is a good mountain, but I didn't play much. The routes followed by the tour guide are all touristy routes, which are boring.

Although the roads in Moganshan are difficult to drive on, the overall planning is still very neat. What I remember most is this one-way tunnel where you have to wait for traffic lights. It is really unique. If I have time in the future, I will go there to experience different hotels and scenery.

It is a good place to escape the summer heat. The trees are tall and the environment is leisurely. It is suitable for self-driving. SUV is best. In addition, Dakeng is actually the Dakeng scenic area. Many tourists think it is a tourist attraction.

Comments! The overall feeling is not bad. If five stars are considered full marks, give a four-star rating. We played faster! We drove from Suzhou and set off from Wuzhong District, Suzhou at around 9:15 in the morning. According to the shooting of the photo, we arrived at the Niutougang ticket office of the scenic spot at 1:23 in the afternoon. It is recommended to buy tickets through online channels, which saves time and is cheap! The online ticket is 85, and the physical ticket should be 100! The parking place is Hua Ting, and it is 2:00 when we arrived here. The entire scenic area can be roughly divided into three places. You can choose to follow this plan. I think it is more reasonable after walking down! No injustice!

Simply put, go in three directions: south, west, and east (north is up, south is down, west is left, and east is right. Remember to take a photo of the scenic area navigation map at the entrance of the scenic area).

Go south and arrive at the first scenic spot, Jianchi Scenic Area. I personally think Jianchi is not very interesting! There are similar attractions in Tiger Hill, Suzhou, but I am not too interested! Jianchi Waterfall is just a small waterfall!

The second place to the west, the key scenic spot and the end point is the Dakeng Scenic Area, which is worth a visit! It is recommended to choose different routes for the round trip, and do not return by the same route, otherwise you will miss the scenic spot!

The third place is to the east. The main purpose is to see Chiang Kai-shek's residence, but unfortunately the attraction was closed when I went there! The last picture!

In fact, for those who love mountaineering, the altitude of Mogan Mountain is not high, but the scenery along the way is very beautiful and the air is fresh, which makes me relax a lot in a fast-paced life. It is quiet and comfortable. Friends who want to relieve stress can come here. As for the transportation method, because it is a self-driving tour, it only passes through some mountain roads. Except for the inconvenience of parking, other aspects are fine. When I arrived at Jianchi, I remembered the legend of Mogan Mountain, and also remembered Gan Jiang and Moye in the TV series "Soushen Chuan" that I watched when I was a child. At that time, I liked Miss Moye more.

Staying at Baiyun Hotel, the mountain is empty except for the weekends, with few tourists and very quiet.

If you are not traveling by car or just want to experience the farmhouse, I suggest not to come. Especially if you don't live near the mountain. Although the natural scenery on the mountain is beautiful, I think it's better to go to Jingyuetan than to come here. If you get off from Deqing Station, you will be cheated unless you go with a group. There is no solution. They are all black cars. They charge one price when you get on the car, and then take you to a remote place to increase the price. Fortunately, I met a very good grandfather on Didi Express. If you come in the future, you can ask me for my phone number and pick you up. If you go from Deqing West, you have to change 4 cars. When I came, I didn't know anything at all. I booked a place with a suitable price on Ctrip. It is far from Moganshan Scenic Area, but the boss's sister's family is very good. There is a very good mother-in-law who cooks delicious food. Because I am a student party, I didn't eat big fish and meat, and the bamboo shoots are delicious. If you go up the mountain, because it is far away from the scenic area, I can only trouble the boss's sister to help me book a car. The car is 300 yuan, which can be negotiated to 260, and there is a ticket fee of 60/person. Take you up the mountain and walk to the tourist attractions by yourself. (Although I think this car is their own, but they also helped a lot, because there is no other way, it is very difficult to go up the mountain by yourself) I was still ripped off. The old man who took us here can also take us up the mountain, and it is not so expensive. It took about 3 hours, and I felt my legs were broken when I came back. Two people came, and the average cost per person was a little over 800, for reference only.

The four major summer resorts, you can feel it on the way in by bus, the air is really good and comfortable, very suitable for a leisurely vacation, but the interior of Moganshan Scenic Area is really average, there are very few road signs and map signs that can indicate the current location, and it is difficult to find the attractions. People with poor sense of direction basically rely on blindly walking and asking for directions everywhere. We met many people who were looking for attractions like us, but the mountains are important to climb, and it is still good to go and enjoy the rural life in the mountain villa and relax. But please be sure to avoid holidays, the traffic is so congested, it's simply

The natural scenery is really great, the stars, sunsets and sunrises are all very beautiful, and the photos are far less beautiful than what you see with the naked eye. It is indeed a summer resort, and it is still cold even with a sweater in April. But you must not go there during holidays, because there will be a lot of people and the roads will be blocked, and the accommodation will be very expensive. The tickets will be more expensive than usual, so it is best to travel during off-peak hours, especially for self-driving, and spend two or three days playing slowly, taking photos and relaxing in this resort!

Surrounded by mountains and forests, there are bamboos everywhere. After the May Day Labor Day, many bamboo shoots have grown taller. All you can see are mountains. Driving up from Houwu S304, I was dizzy. It took more than two hours to reach the scenic spot. It costs 100 yuan per person. It seems to be 65 yuan if you book in advance on Ctrip. When you see a van, you just drive in without buying a ticket. There are two people at the door to stop you. It is indeed a summer resort. It is still a bit cold on the mountain at night.

Traveling during the Qingming Festival, I stayed at Ruijing Hotel in Deqing County at night. The hotel facilities are average, but there are too few parking spaces. There is no place to park late. There is an underground parking lot opposite the hotel, which charges 10 yuan and is only three to five minutes away, which is acceptable. The hotel breakfast is simple. It takes about an hour to drive from Deqing to Moganshan. There are many turns on the mountain road along the way, so the speed must be controlled. It was our first time to visit, so we found a tour guide in Jianchi Scenic Area. Since it was a holiday, the price was 200, which is probably not that expensive at ordinary times. The tour guide was very good. Not only did he explain it in place, but he could also get a parking space and took a round of the scenic spots. It was worth it to play all the way. The price of the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain is a little expensive, the bamboo shoots and chicken nuggets taste great, and the price is acceptable. Reminder, you must get up early to go up the mountain, not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but more importantly, there is no traffic jam!

The mountain road was also very good. It took one hour to drive 30 kilometers of mountain road, which exceeded expectations. The scenery was also good. It is best to go in summer. We went there in winter and it was a bit depressed. Many small villas were empty.

Although I went there during the Spring Festival and it took quite a while to go up and down the mountain, the air on the mountain was very good, there were not many tourists, and the viewing experience was still very good.

On New Year's Day, I drove to Mogan Mountain with a few friends for a total of 3 days and 2 nights. It was the off-season in Mogan Mountain, but it also had a unique scenery;

1. Accommodation: I booked a homestay called "Xishan Yuanjuku" on Airbnb. The farmhouse dishes of the owner's family are really good. The dishes are basically grown by themselves and are very healthy. Especially the native chicken pot is stewed by chickens raised by themselves. The soup is fresh and fragrant. The meat is very crispy due to the long stewing time. It is even more nourishing to drink in winter. A must-try dish when going to Moganshan. We ate at the owner's house during the few days we stayed there.

2. Sightseeing: On the first day in Moganshan, it was already noon. After lunch, I picked some strawberries from the nearby strawberry garden. They were really sweet. The next morning, I went to Moganshan Scenic Area. I mainly visited the Sword Pond, the small statues of Ganjiang and Moye, the small waterfall, and went to Luhuadang Park. You can drive in the scenic area, but we were in the off-season, so parking was difficult and the order was chaotic. There was basically no one to coordinate. I don’t know if it was because of the off-season. On the road, I saw some tourists getting off the car to clear the way, which was quite hard.

3. Transportation: You must drive to Moganshan by yourself, otherwise it will be very tiring. And self-driving will give you more freedom.

The best season for Moganshan is summer, which is a good place to escape the heat. There are relatively few people in our season, and the weather is a bit cold, but it's not bad, it's still good for leisure and vacation.

We went to Moganshan Scenic Area in the afternoon. The round trip ticket for two cars plus the entrance fee was 100 yuan per person. The scenery on the mountain was nice, with many stone steps and the Xuguang Terrace. From the terrace you can overlook the panoramic view of Moganshan. There was a poem written by Guo Moruo on the stone slab.

Moganshan check-in is complete~ I set off from Shanghai with my boyfriend. The transportation is high-speed rail. The direct train from Shanghai to Deqing is too early at 7:27. The time is not long, less than 2 hours. Later, I went back from Hangzhou. It was very convenient and there were many trains. Transportation fee: high-speed rail 93.5 yuan/person/time, taxi to the scenic hotel 120 yuan/trip (return is a hitchhiking: first go to Wukang and then go to the high-speed rail station 60 yuan), a total of 554 yuan. I heard that friends who drove from Shanghai paid about 500 yuan for round-trip transportation (fuel consumption is 0.7 yuan/kilometer). I will drive by myself next time. The place I live is Miaoqian Village at the foot of the northern foot of Mogan Mountain. Compared with Houwu, it is more peaceful here. It is a real mountain family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Of course, I prefer quietness. I stayed in a big bed with a specification of 880 for two nights. It seems that it was Thursday and it was off-season, so the room price was relatively affordable. Going to Moganshan is a chartered car, 400 yuan/day, which seems not enough in the peak season. Master Huang also acted as a tour guide. There are more and more homestays in Moganshan in the past two years, but fortunately it is not overdeveloped, and the local customs are relatively simple, much better than Lijiang, without too much commercial entry. Meals are solved in the hotel, 100 yuan per person, the frosted green vegetables are particularly sweet, it is said that they are grown by the people in the mountains themselves, this pure natural feeling makes people feel very comfortable to eat. At night, my boyfriend and I couldn't sleep and got up to order a bottle of snow beer, looking at the stars and chatting, we both felt that it was super nice to be a farmer in the countryside~

The review always fails to be sent, please see my travel notes for details.

Mogan Mountain got its name because King Helu of Wu sent Gan Jiang and Moye to forge a pair of unparalleled male and female swords here in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Mogan Mountain is famous both at home and abroad because American Baptist missionary Friger visited the mountain in 1858 and recommended it to Dr. Meishen and Dr. Spode. After the two of them visited the mountain, they published their travel notes in a prominent position in foreign newspapers and magazines, making the mountain famous all over the world. Due to the publicity and involvement of Westerners, Mogan Mountain became the first leisure resort in Chinese history, and is known as one of the four major summer resorts in China, along with Lushan Mountain, Jigong Mountain and Beidaihe.

The outstanding creation of nature and the ever-changing history of modern times have jointly created Mogan Mountain, which has both Eastern and Western cultural characteristics. Westerners and Chinese have successively built 256 old villas in Mogan Mountain, hidden in the uneven corners of the pine forest, and still continue the calm elegance of a hundred years ago, and still contain amazing infinite charm. Mogan Mountain wins with the "three wins" of bamboo, cloud and spring, and the "four advantages" of clear, quiet, green and cool. Only by being in the pine forest and bamboo sea all over the mountains, feeling the green waves like pine waves and bamboo waves, the misty and changing sea of ​​clouds, and the cold and clear mountain springs, can you truly appreciate the beauty of Mogan Mountain. No wonder this place has always been a retreat for celebrities and scholars in Shanghai and Zhejiang, and became the back garden for the powerful class in Shanghai to enjoy their weekends in the 1930s and 1940s. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling also chose this place for their honeymoon.

Some people say the scenery of Mogan Mountain is good, while others say it is nothing to see. If you want to see the wonders, go to Huangshan Mountain; if you want to see the dangers, go to Huashan Mountain; if you want to see the grandeur, go to Taishan Mountain..., then what does Mogan Mountain have? Strolling among the pine forests and rocks, along the bamboo creeks, listening to the gurgling springs, and relaxing your soul, isn't that what we need most! As Yu Dafu said in his poem "Visiting Mogan Mountain": "I came to the farm as a guest: the original intention was to escape from fame. The mountain is quiet, the creek is rapid, the wind is slanting, and the birds are walking lightly. The road turns from the back of the rock, and people walk on the treetops. Sitting or lying in the secluded bamboos, I feel at ease and distant."

After visiting Mogan Mountain, I felt that the cool world was not cool at all! The temperature in the mountains was indeed 3 or 4 degrees lower than that in the city, but I was still sweating profusely while playing, and I could only feel the slightest coolness when I sat down to rest.

I went to Moganshan at the end of November. It was off-season, a very off-season. Walking in the central scenic area, I could hardly see other tourists. I felt that "Moganshan was all mine today".

There was heavy fog that day, and the clouds and mountains were reflected in the fog, which was quite interesting.

It usually costs 60-70 yuan to rent a car from Yu Village to Yinshan Street. In fact, if you have enough energy, it is recommended to hike. Take the mountain path. It is a great experience.

Moganshan is well-known all over the world as a very famous summer resort. With the popularity of foreign homestays in recent years, when it comes to summer, it is more about seeing the crowds of people than summer vacation. So we chose another beautiful season to visit Moganshan - the "maple leaf season" in late autumn. The advantages are summarized as follows: the climate is suitable, the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot; the scenery is pleasant, the maple leaves are red, which is very beautiful; there are no crowded people, it is more quiet and leisurely, and it is truly a retreat to the mountains; homestays are also easy to book, so you don't have to plan it several months in advance, you can come for a trip on your own.

Transportation: From Shanghai, it takes about 2-3 hours to drive to Moganshan. Take the Deqing exit of G25 Expressway, and then follow Provincial Road 304 to enter the mountain. If you take the high-speed rail, there is a direct train from Shanghai to Deqing, but I recommend: Shanghai-Hangzhou-Deqing, which is a little more frequent. If you start from Hangzhou, all kinds of transportation are good. The high-speed rail is only a dozen minutes' drive to Deqing. It takes about a little more than an hour to drive.

The scenic area is about half an hour's drive from the hotel where we stayed. It's a provincial road all the way, winding around the mountain, but the road is still easy to drive. The car can be driven into the scenic area. There are not many people in the scenic area today, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams, no parking spaces, and no crowds. It's great... I can enjoy my red maples... The scenic spots in the scenic area include Jianchi, Luhuadang Park, celebrity villas, Dakeng... Moganshan is more rich in history and culture. Maybe at this time, you can hire a tour guide and listen to the introductions and stories of the scenery to understand it better.

The mountain road is narrow and visibility is 50-100 meters

We climbed up Mogan Mountain from the hiking trail. Because we had children with us, we were afraid that we couldn't walk and couldn't go back the same way. We called a local private car to take us down the mountain. The driver was very enthusiastic. We charged 50 yuan for four adults and three children, which was quite affordable! It is worth recommending. Friends who want to visit Mogan Mountain can add his WeChat lijie8052567 and make an appointment in advance. He can provide tourists with pick-up, scenic area tours and other services!

Because we live on the mountainside, we decided to walk down the mountain in the afternoon to see the scenery along the way. Fortunately, it was a weekday, so there were not many cars.

A great place to escape the summer heat! Enjoy the mountains in the summer! Enjoy the leisurely trails!

There was traffic jam going up the mountain and going down the mountain. Cars should not be allowed to go up. The public services compared to other scenic spots are too poor. I will not go there again.

Really good! The scenery is great, a natural oxygen bar! When you get here, you will forget all your worries and the Lantern Festival in the city! Thank God for giving us so much beautiful nature in China, enjoy it! Although it is not as famous as some places, it is worth going for tourism, vacation and leisure. I highly recommend it.

Mogan Mountain, a national scenic spot, is located in Deqing County. It is named after the King of Wu sent Moye and Gan Jiang to forge the world's unique male and female swords in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Mogan Mountain is famous for its bamboo, springs, and clouds, as well as its "cool, green, clear, and quiet" features. It is known as the "Cool World" and is one of the four major summer resorts in my country, along with Beidaihe, Lushan, and Jigong Mountain. Mogan Mountain has a total area of ​​43 square kilometers and is a remnant of Tianmu Mountain. The central scenic area includes Tashan, Zhonghua Mountain, Jinjia Mountain, Wuji Mountain, Moganling, Paotai Mountain, etc. The main peak, Tashan, is 719 meters above sea level. Mogan Mountain is undulating, with a vegetation coverage rate of up to 92%. It has beautiful scenery. Although it is not as majestic as Taishan and as steep as Huashan, it is known as the "No. 1 Mountain in Jiangnan" for its green bamboos, clear and inexhaustible mountain springs, scattered villas, and charming scenery in different seasons. Moganshan has many scenic spots, including the beautiful Luhuadang Park, the quiet and peaceful Wuling Village, the breathtaking Jianchi Waterfall, the majestic Guaishijiao, the wild Tashan Park, as well as the remains of Tianchi Temple, Mogan Lake, Xuguangtai, the Forest of Famous Steles, Dicuitan and more than 30 other places. The 173 modern villas hidden in the woods are a collection of styles from Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, Russia and other countries, and are known as the "Villa Grand View".

In the past, transportation in Shanghai was not very convenient if you didn’t drive yourself.

As for accommodation, there are many small and fresh foreign homestays at the foot of the mountain, which are expensive. The villas on the mountain that have been converted into B&Bs are also not cheap.

As for tourist attractions, it is boring to go to tourist attractions with a tour group. The scenery you can see by just walking around on your own is much better and more interesting.

Moganshan is a paradise on the edge of the city. On both sides of the road you can only see the intersection of farming and bamboo forests. As you go deeper, you will occasionally see unique foreign-style guesthouses scattered at the foot of the mountain, the edge of the forest, or at the corners. They are not surprising, but natural and generous, making people feel how beautiful it would be if they had a home here. Each foreign-style guesthouse has its own characteristics and considerate services. Of course, the price is not cheap, but it is worth staying here occasionally for a short stay and the physical and mental benefits.

If you want to enjoy the beautiful snow scenery in Jiangnan, Mogan Mountain in winter is definitely a white lover that you cannot miss. I have always loved snow scene portraits, so I take a group of snow scene portraits for myself every winter. Mogan Mountain in winter is the cleanest and purest snow scene I have ever seen.

If you are under a lot of work pressure, you can come to Moganshan to breathe fresh air. This place is more suitable for recuperation.

A place that is even more refreshing than expected! Full of greenery, staying at Dazhang Su for 880 per night is a bit expensive, but the service is really touching. The guy at the front desk is very considerate and will send fruit to the room. The farmhouse food in the town is cheap and delicious. I highly recommend self-driving! There are scenery everywhere~

The scenery is nice, with bamboo forests all over the mountains, streams and waterfalls, and celebrity villas hidden in the mountains and forests
